Nikola? Weren't they basically busted for "fraud" Their rolling video was of an unpowered truck rolling down a hill. And their press model was basically a cobbled together model that was plugged into an external source to make the lights work.
**Note, I'm not anti alt tech/fuels but last I'd heard GM basically cut these guys off.
